Community Services Block Grant Public Hearings

May 10 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Event Navigation

Since 1983, the Sacramento Employment and Training Agency (SETA) has been designated as a Community Action Agency for the purpose of administering Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds for Sacramento County. CSBG funds are meant to help alleviate root causes of poverty not adequately served by existing community resources. Indicators of unmet community needs will be gathered from a variety of sources including members of the community. To this end, SETA will begin gathering public testimony at two scheduled public hearings before the Community Action Board (CAB). Members of the public with information or concerns regarding the delivery of poverty related services to families and individuals in Sacramento County are welcome and encouraged to testify during hearings before the Board.

Information gathered at the hearings and from other sources will be compiled in a draft of the 2018/2019 SETA Community Action Plan with copies available for public review on May 19, 2017 on the SETA website (www.seta.net).

Members of the community with questions, requests for copies of the draft plan, or wishing to submit written testimony, may e-mail Victor Bonanno at victor.bonanno@seta.net, or call him directly at (916) 263-4364.
